Generating Images as Fast as Your Mouse Moves

Home » Image Generation » Generating Images as Fast as Your Mouse Moves

A few months ago, I decided to see just how fast I could generate images with Stable Diffusion. I used ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion XL Turbo, attempting to make an “Animorphs cover” capability with a simple slider. This isn’t exactly how diffusion works, but the result wasn’t too bad!

More recently, I saw someone post a two-axis chart. He would drag a dot around the chart, changing the image being generated. His setup pre-calculated all of the images, and this would only change which one was displayed.

I knew that I had to replicate this, but with near realtime generation. While I was at it, I decided to make four variables instead of just two. This would be way too many to pre-generate.

This was all on my personal PC with a gaming graphics card, the Nvidia GTX 3060 12GB. If you want to do this yourself,

  1. Get ComfyUI through https://pinokio.computer
  2. Download Stable Diffusion XL Turbo from Huggingface
  3. Drag this image into ComfyUI (it will load in the workflow):
